This is a useful single sheet aid providing a large-scale schematic of all the races as they appear on the game map in the different Province locations. I condensed it from an article that appeared in "The General" originally by Frank Calcagno, Jr. I must confess that after having discovered this particular aid, I found it quite useful, indispensable, really, especially in the Galactic game. Don't leave your home planet without it!

To complement LazarusDarkyeye's chart, this is a chart of Mission and Action Card Event probabilities that appeared in the June-July 1980 issue of MOVES magazine from an article "Freedom in the Galaxy" by P.H. Bolton and W.M. Orr

This is a .gtl to fix the map temporarily. I'll redo the entire project once all errors are reported. Save this .gtl to your FitG folder. To load the .gtl, open CBDesigner, open FitG.gbx, go to "Tile Image Groups", open "Rebel", scroll down to the surplus military units, click on image in right-hand window, right-click to get pull-down menu, and click "Load Tile Library File". This'll give an image which you'll need to copy/paste at each zoom level into a 'spare' image (plain red, NOT Subterranean) to create the fix. Edit the map with this image and delete the .gtl you just loaded (not the image you placed on the map) and save the .gbx. Should keep more stable than adding .gtl image directly to map. F2

A sheet I use to plan my Imperial strategy and setup. Summarizes all political and mission danger information in one sheet for ease of reference.

Compilation of all rules (basic, Nick Palmer's Fix and Mission Cards) into one handy word doc. May still include typos and I had to wing Case 23.2 and 23.4 a bit, Nick's Fix was not clear on the issue.

The purpose of this document is to provide various statistics on the Action Cards relevant to the different missions. 1.00 11/17/09 Original Release -Exclusive focus on Action Cards Feedback and requests for update will be most promptly responded to at lazarus.darkeyes@gmail.com.

Freedom in the Galaxy variant, unfinished overhaul by Uwe A. Reuter (posted by redesigner)

An expanded and reorganized replacement for the original Galactic Guide. The main portion of this new version features a single page for each planet in the galaxy, listing everything you need to know when planning or conducting operations on that planet: races present, domino effect links, combat values for irate locals and creatures, presence of sovereigns and coup opportunities, characters with home planet status, characters with royalty status, etc. Also included are useful reference charts (some of which were originally published in Nicky Palmer's extensive article in the old Avalon Hill magazine, The GENERAL), the rules for the "balanced variant" from Palmer's article, and a slightly reorganized presentation of the various combat tables.

Various Player Aids

Freedom in the Galaxy Errata, Dec 1979, SPI

A Windows program that shuffles and draws the Action Cards which are used to resolve missions. This frees the players from having to constantly shuffle the Action Card deck, which should speed up the game. The program also includes a mini-spreadsheet for easily calculating Imperial Taxation. This is a very old program, originally written for Windows 3.1, but it will run in Win 3.1, Win95, Win98, and WinXP. More information is in the included README.TXT file. Full source code for Visual Basic 2.0/3.0 is also included.

Possessions for Imperial characters: use same rules as for Rebels. Most give one-off bonus draws for missions.
